Purpose

• Ethnically Cleansed Palestinians on their way to Lebanon, Oct. 1948
  To emphasize that the CORE issues of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict are the DISPOSSESSION and ETHNIC CLEANSING (compulsory population transfer) of the Palestinian people for the past seven decades. Therefore, the conflict is deeply political and not about antisemitism that the Western world have experienced; and it would've been at the same level of intensity even if both parties had been Jewish, Muslim, or Christian.
• To create an easy medium where refugees can communicate, organize, and share their experiences amongst themselves. The refugees are encouraged to attach their stories, memories, pictures, movies, music files, join discussions at the message board and guest book sections, directory service listing of the refugees and their contact information, and URL links related to each listed town.
• To provide a comprehensive source of information about the villages and cities that were ethnically cleansed, looted, and destroyed by the Israeli army. At each town's homepage, you will find pictures (both before and after 1948), the current status of the town, the Israeli colonies that occupy the town's lands, a brief history of the town before and after Nakba, detailed accounts of atrocities and any acts of terror, personal accounts from the refugees themselves, and above all live interviews from refugees reciting their experiences before, during and after al-Nakba.
• To preserve the memories and the experiences of the Palestinian people around the world, especially the 726,000 Palestinian refugees who were resolution 194. Based on this resolution, every single refugee has the right to go back to his or her home, and to be compensated for any loss of their property, pain, and suffering.
• Faluja-Gaza, 1949, Ethnically Cleansed Palestinians on their way to Hebron
  To respond to the widely popular Zionist myth that: "Palestine was a country with no people for people with no country", at length we have responded to this myth plus more. With the help of our online community (made up of tens of thousands of refugees), visitors to the site can verify how Palestine has its people who are rich with history, culture, and values.
• To reach out to Israelis so they can feel the human behind this "Palestinian" or "the enemy", who was forced out from his home, farm, and business to make way for persecuted European Jewish refugees. We are proud to be one of the few mediums where Israelis and Palestinians can reach out to each other and meet, of course, other than at the humiliating checkpoints. It should be noted, that the majority of the site's page views come from Israel, and many of the pictures and films that we have of the destroyed villages were shared by Israelis. We understand that many Israelis and Jews around the world support the Palestinian struggle for justice and are willing to do their part in bringing an end to the wrongs of the past.
• To send an unambiguous message to the Westerner World that the Palestinian people cannot be crossed for what they have sinned against their Jewish citizens. Palestine and its people cannot be the saviors for their tortured consciousness and souls for what they have done to the Jews who used to call Europe home. Their blind support of the "Jewish state" and its racist policies is blindly guided by their guilty conscious. Locking Jews, Palestinians, and Arabs into eternal struggle will neither bring peace to the Middle East nor to the whole world.
